If I had to guess, I'd say A since B is clearly just a render. A is a real photo.
It's crazy to think that they have pricing and pre-order available though site unseen.
One thing is for sure, with batteries that cost $420 a pop, this is going to be one EXPENSIVE bird to keep in the air! To match the 12 I keep on hand now to go out for the day would cost over $5,000... just for batteries!

Needs more bacon!
The landing gear in the 1st picture doesn't show the 2 rails to mount the gimbal and battery on. Although in the thread on rcg sidney showed some of the latest pictures.

Hi Kilby,
Crazy high $$$ for Batteries. I'm thinking about this

Two 6S packs in parallel total 16000 Mah cheapest price

4s 11A is 820g but i wouldnt use 4s on the low Kv motors that the S800 will have, you should stay with 6s which is better anyways. The link above shows you a 6s 11A lipo with weight 1.2 KG 400$ compared to a 15A 6S but 2.2 KG. The 11A probably will give you the same same flight time as the 15A 6s considering that its 1 KG lighter, but i am not sure not going to start calculating

looking at the motors, and the bottom part of the motors they strongly look like rc tiger motors, probably some custom build.

I think they might have designed themselves into a corner with this one. A very expensive corner!
If you start to price it all out, this could easily run you $8-10k for the craft, wk, gimbal and a collection of batteries. Now consider that they have not even released full specs or real demos with on board video, but expect people to make a financial obligation like that based solely on their word. Insane to me. Absolutely insane.
I hope for anyone that preordered this that it takes the best video in the world.
